Objective: Wound surface area can be measured with several assessment tools, including a manual planimetric method, ImageJ software and three-dimensional wound measurement (3DWM) methods. This study aimed to determine the advantages of each method as well as the concordance between them.
Method: This reproducibility study included adult patient volunteers with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Wounds with ambiguous borders were excluded. All included wounds were sequentially assessed with each of the three measurement methods, and the time for each measurement was recorded with a chronometer. SPSS and MedCalc package software were used for all statistical analyses.
Results: A total of 20 patients with 20 DFUs took part in the study. According to the measurement method, the average wound area was 6.41cm by the manual planimetric method, 6.53cm by ImageJ and 6.32cm by 3DWM. Correlation analyses revealed correlation coefficients of 0.997 between the manual planimetric method and ImageJ, 0.929 between the manual planimetric method and 3DWM, and 0.929 between ImageJ and 3DWM. Bland-Altman analysis was used to determine whether these three measurement methods could be used interchangeably. There was no significant difference between the three measurement methods and, therefore, it was concluded that they could be used interchangeably. Wound area measurement times were 173.35±19.38 seconds by the manual planimetric method, 61.60±9.21 seconds by ImageJ and 36.90±6.91 seconds by the 3DWM method.
Conclusion: The three measurement methods studied can be used interchangeably, as each method is highly concordant with the other two. The fastest method was 3DWM and the manual planimetric method was the slowest.

Objectives: Intraoral scanners (IOS) display disclosed plaque, and the scientific literature has reported that plaque levels can be monitored on intraoral scans using one IOS system (Dexis 3800; control IOS). This study aimed to investigate whether this is also possible with other IOS systems (i700, Primescan, Trios 5; test IOS).

Purpose To develop a fast and fully automated deep learning (DL)-based method for the MRI planimetric segmentation and measurement of the brainstem and ventricular structures most affected in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, T1-weighted MR images in healthy controls ( = 84) were used to train DL models for segmenting the midbrain, pons, middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP), superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP), third ventricle, and frontal horns (FHs). Internal, external, and clinical test datasets ( = 305) were used to assess segmentation model reliability.

Article Synopsis
- Brain MRI is used for diagnosing progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), but the effectiveness of various analysis methods for different PSP types—especially those besides Richardson's syndrome—is uncertain.
- The study compared three reading strategies for MRI analysis (visual descriptions, manual planimetry, and automatic volumetry) across 41 PSP patients (21 with RS and 20 with variant PSP) and 46 healthy controls.
- Results showed that while automatic volumetric support led to high accuracy, a machine learning approach (support vector machine) achieved the best overall accuracy (87.4%), with better sensitivity for diagnosing variant PSP cases.
Denture Plaque Biofilm Visual Assessment Methods: A Systematic Review.

Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:
Denture plaque, a biofilm that develops on denture surfaces, could contribute to many oral and systemic afflictions. Hence, a quantitative assessment of denture plaque is important to evaluate the denture hygiene of denture wearers, particularly to prevent plaque biofilm-associated diseases. The aim of this systematic review, therefore, was to review and summarize the visual denture hygiene assessment methods using denture plaque indices and with planimetries published in the literature.
